Why dont you go clean up all of the garbage left in the desert after drinking and breaking beer bottles,shooting tv sets, propane tanks,dumping camper shells, unwanted vacuum cleaners, paint cans, couches, pick up all of the bullets and shotgun shells, clay pigeons. Then we can talk about how ugly the windmills are going to be.
